Moisturize your mug
Some of the best advice my Mother ever gave me was to moisturize daily. What gay man doesn’t agree with that?
For the longest time, I was doing it all wrong. You see, I was cursed blessed with oily skin, which is good at keeping away wrinkles, but bad if you plan to leave the house. So I used very harsh products on it to dry it up as much as possible, and was often scrubbing it. Above all, I avoided moisturizers of any kind, as I thought they would produce more oil.
Wrong.
Actually, the more you scrub your face, the more it goes into panic mode and produces oil. So I was actually making my skin shinier by torturing it.
I finally got it right and have started using a moisturizer nightly. It’s slowly recovering now and looking better.
I’ve been using Olay’s Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Night Cream. It smells good, is just the right consistency, and does the job. It’s pretty affordable too. I got it on sale for $12.
What do you use to keep your mug moisturized?

I use the off brand for Olay. It is Equate Complete Beauty Lotion. It also has SPF 15 in it, so I get the sun protection that I need. That is when i remember to put it on.
I recently fell in love with Origins “Save The Males” it is a multi purpose moisturizer made for men. It supposedly does a buncha things like control shiny-ness, moisturize, keep away wrinkles, and leaves my face with this nice soft feeling. And since it is made for “men” it has a great smell.
I don’t use anything actually… I was kinda lucky when God doled out flesh because I just wash with a apricot facial scrub and remain wrinkle-free, while friends of mine spend craploads of money on anti-aging cremes and lotions and still complain about wrinkles.
Right now it’s Lotio Mentholus by the C.O. Bigelow company (keep it away from the eyes…it stings). I also use an eye gel from Boots (a British drug store) now available at Target. BE GONE CROW’S FEET!
I’ve really got to start taking better care of my skin. I do wash and cleanse with a Loreal product though.
I use Olay Total Effects 7x by day, and Olay Definity by night. I have an insider who hooks me up. I have combination skin which can be a bitch, but these really are great products.
Ooh, I use that to whack off! I have the smoothest, softest skinned wiener imaginable.
I used to curse God for my oily skin. Now that I’m in my… Well, now that I’m not 21 anymore, I love that I still look young. Good on you for conveying wise advice to young gays.
I use Clean & Clear Oil free Dual Action Moisturizer, and sometimes DOVE Day Moisturizer both costs less than $6
